Fofana's strong start
It was on Wednesday that Wesley Fofana officially became a Chelsea player – and that afternoon he undertook his first training session at Cobham following his £70million move from Leicester City. There was another on Thursday and one more on Friday prior to the visit of West Ham United. That's all Fofana needed to convince Thomas Tuchel that he was ready to start.
"We gave a lot of thought into whether we should start him," Tuchel explained ahead of kick-off. "There were reasons for not doing it but in the end he seemed to be a cool guy and fine with it. He is fit and we can use his wildness in a back three and his spirit and first contact in the box for defending crosses and set pieces."
